National Fate: I Was Scared Stiff from the Start, Then Summoned Cthulhu

The eerie has revived, and a game of national destiny descends. The roster of Longguo’s chosen players is announced, stunning the world: an ace agent, a Celestial Master of the Mystical Arts… and a horror novelist who faints at the sight of a cockroach? The whole world is placing bets on how many seconds he’ll survive.

No one knows that Lin Yizhou has awakened the [Abyss Bartering System]!

While his teammates fight for their lives, he hides in a corner and scribbles furiously in a notebook: “This vengeful spirit’s howling has a nice rhythm. It’d make great background music… Hmm, those tentacles have a texture worth studying too!”

While contestants from other countries watch their sanity plummet and teeter on the brink of collapse, Lin Yizhou embraces fear, screaming at the indescribable Old Gods, tears of excitement streaming down his face!

Viewers around the world: “He’s lost it! The Longguo contestant has completely lost it!”

Eerie Boss: “Please! You’re the terrifying one! Don’t come any closer!”

To him, sanity is currency to be squandered, and fear is an offering traded for power!

[Sanity -20: Exchange for ‘Mi-Go Brain (Insight)’ to decipher all rules!]

[Sanity -60: Exchange for ‘Father Dagon (Phantom)’ to command the deep sea!]

When the false god’s angelic army passes judgment on the mortal world, Lin Yizhou, laughing as his sanity hits zero, exchanges for [The Outer God’s Crown, Azathoth (Glimpse)]!

In an instant, so-called Heaven crumbles inch by inch, and a reward multiplied ten thousandfold, enough to shock the universe, descends upon Longguo!

His teammates: “Don’t be afraid. We’re here.”

Lin Yizhou: “Step back. Don’t be afraid… I’m worried I might accidentally eat too much.”
